章节 1：拉里·埃里森的医疗健康愿景

📝 本节摘要：

拉里·埃里森回顾了自己从计算机领域走向医学与生物学的经历，分享了对基因、生命科学和生物学黄金时代的判断。他认为，基因调控等研究将显著改善医疗质量与健康寿命，并介绍了 Oracle 正在建设的新一代电子健康记录与护理管理体系。

[原文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: Please welcome to the stage Larry Ellison and Dr. Tom Mihajlovic.

[译文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: 让我们欢迎拉里·埃里森和汤姆·米哈伊洛维奇博士登台。

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: Hi, Tom.

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 嗨，汤姆。

[原文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: Hi, Larry. How are you?

[译文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: 嗨，拉里。你好吗？

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: Hello, everybody.

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 大家好。

[原文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: Yeah. So thank you very much for being here. I know that everybody's keen to hear a little bit from you about Oracle Health and everything that Oracle is bringing to healthcare. So let's begin this conversation just by reflecting on the origin of your interest in healthcare. You are clearly very, very passionate about the field. Can you tell us a little bit about how it all started?

[译文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: 好的。非常感谢你来到这里。我知道大家都很想听你谈谈 Oracle Health，以及 Oracle 正在为医疗健康领域带来的一切。所以，我们先从你对医疗健康产生兴趣的起点谈起。显然，你对这个领域充满热情。能不能跟我们讲讲，这一切是如何开始的？

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: Well, let's see. That's really easy to say. My parents, my teachers, everyone in my family decided I was going to be a doctor when I was very young. I really had nothing to do with it. And they were—without going into a lot of detail—

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 这个嘛，说起来其实很简单。我很小的时候，父母、老师，还有家里的每一个人都认定我将来会成为一名医生。这件事完全不是由我决定的。而且他们——这里就不展开细说了——

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: When I announced that I was not going to go to medical school, my parents actually stopped talking to me for a few years. They were very, very upset. I went to California, Silicon Valley, and I said I wanted to—I was interested in computers. And lo and behold, that interest in computers has come full circle to become a deep interest in medicine and biology. I actually have an institute at Oxford that's really focused on genetics and life sciences, if you will, at Oxford. So they just had to wait a little while for me to actually become active in medicine and biology. And in fact, this is why I'm still working.

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 当我宣布自己不打算去医学院时，我的父母竟然有好几年都不和我说话。他们非常非常失望。我去了加利福尼亚的硅谷，说自己想要——其实是对计算机感兴趣。没想到，这份对计算机的兴趣兜了一圈，最终变成了我对医学和生物学的浓厚兴趣。我在牛津大学设立了一家研究机构，主要专注于遗传学和生命科学。这样看来，他们只是不得不多等一段时间，等我真正投身医学和生物学。事实上，这也是我至今仍在工作的原因。

[原文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: Yeah.

[译文] [Tom Mihajlovic]: 是的。

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: If it wasn't for the progress that we're making in medicine and in biology, I think I would have retired a while ago. But what is going to be, I think, the golden age of biology—we had the golden age of physics way back in the '30s, and now it's time for the golden age of biology—the accumulation of knowledge, better understanding, even just our understanding of DNA. It's not just the base pairs, it's not just the sequences, it's all the methylation that occurs during our lifetime, the regulation of those genes, the expression, the differential expression of those genetics, and the potential to take that understanding and dramatically improve the quality of healthcare and health span. It's just an opportunity that—

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 如果不是因为医学和生物学正在取得的进展，我想自己早就退休了。不过，我认为我们即将迎来生物学的黄金时代。上世纪30年代，我们曾经历过物理学的黄金时代，现在轮到生物学了。知识不断积累，我们的理解不断加深，哪怕只是对 DNA 的认识也在不断发展。DNA 不只是碱基对，不只是序列，还包括我们一生中发生的各种甲基化、基因调控、基因表达以及差异性表达。我们有机会利用这些理解，显著提升医疗质量和健康寿命。这是一个绝不能错过的机会——

[原文] [Larry Ellison]: It cannot be passed up. We are working very, very hard to build the next generation of electronic health records, and really more than electronic health records. It's really care management that we care about, if you will, to improve the quality of care. I'm sorry, Tom.

[译文] [Larry Ellison]: 这是绝不能错过的机会。我们正在非常努力地打造新一代电子健康记录系统，但我们关注的其实不只是电子健康记录。更准确地说，我们真正关心的是护理管理，是如何提升医疗服务的质量。抱歉，汤姆。
